No, you don't need to warp time to go faster than light unless your flux
capacitor is jammed.
All you really need is to have slightly less than no mass. This is easily
accomplished by altering the gravitational constant of the universe.

Of course it's interesting that the thing needs to go mach 5 before I'll
light. I'm betting on well over 10 years R&D before it's ready for prime
time, of course by then there will be something better and more economical
that does the same thing...

Andromeda, here we come!  Or...  Talk about a kinetic weapon!

Five times the speed of LIGHT???


Who knew, and here I thought they'd have to warp time to travel faster
than the speed of light!
